Things to do this weekend in Orlando: June 29-July 1

This weekend kicks off the beginning of July and summer is definitely heating up in Orlando, in more ways than one. This weekend let the kids run free at The Little Gym, attend a family movie at Lake Eola, do some yoga, learn about ladybugs or attend a cooking class. Whatever you do enjoy!

This Weekend in Orlando: Multiple Dates

The Little Mermaid at Orlando Shakes on dates between June 14th and July 29th. Curiosity killed the catfish… A precocious young mermaid dreams of visiting the Landside. Against the advice of her friends, she makes a deal with an evil sea witch for the chance to earn the love of a human prince. (All Weekend)

Thru the use of music and props, we will introduce Gross motor skills (ie. Big Movements) like marching, running, jumping, stomping, hanging, climbing, under, over, through, etc. We will also incorporate Eye/Hand Coordination activities, as well as Pre-Gymnastics skills like rolling, swinging, jumping, balancing and the shapes used through every level of gymnastics.

Come de-stress with your kids (ages 3 and up) and enjoy an hour-long yoga class that includes fun games, music, and stories. Doing yoga as a family promotes health and well-being, and provides tools to use back at home to relax, manage stress and emotions, and be more focused on the present moment.

Enjoy Lake Eola Park’s Free Outdoor Movies each month. Bring blankets, chairs, snacks and the whole family to enjoy this year’s selections. Leashed pets are welcome. Be sure to arrive early to secure a spot and enjoy some of the pre-movie activities. Lawn games, Mix 105.1 and music are part of the activities.

Parents call it a break from the kids. Kids call it a break from their parents. That sounds like a win-win situation to us. Our Parents’ Survival Nights out let you enjoy some adult time to see a movie, catch up with friends or enjoy a meal without—ahem—your pint-sized food critics in tow.

After two consecutive years of bringing down the house, “Bring It! LIVE” is back by overwhelming demand, and set to take the stage in Orlando. Miss D and her Dancing Dolls, the stars of Lifetime’s hit series Bring It!will be coming with an all new “Bring It! LIVE” 2018 summer tour.
